Answer: The correct answer is "metalloid".
Explanation:
Metal is the material which can conduct electricity as it contains free electrons. It is good conductor of electricity. For example, copper, silver.
Metal can be drawn into wires. This property of material is called ductile.
Metal can be beaten into sheets. This property of material is called malleable.
Non metal is the material which cannot conduct electricity as it does not contain free electrons. They are poor conductor of electricity. For example, oxygen.
Metalloid: It has properties of both metals and non metal. It is electrical conductor. For example, semiconductor- silicon and germanium. But they cannot be pulled into wires.
Therefore, a material you are testing conducts electricity but cannot be pulled into wires. It is most likely a metalloid.
Answer:
Explanation:
When the pendulum falls freely the net acceleration due to gravity is zero.
As we know that the time period of simple pendulum is inversely proportional to the square root of acceleration due to gravity, thus the time period becomes infinity.
